Halifax j passed an ordinance appointing tha first constitutional governor of the newly formed State. Richard Caswell of Lrnior county, was named gover nor, the same ordinance provided for i a council of State, and other offk . rs.

How great the peril was can be judged by the fact that neutral Norway alone lost nearly half of its fleet in the conflict, and thousands of its seamdn lost their lives. At the end of 1916, communication between many of the parts of Scandi navia connected only by water, had been stopped and the people cut off from the world.

We call the Mississippi River the “Father of Waters,” but the Parana River (South America) discharges twice as much water, and it is small compared to the Amazon and its tri butaries, which constitute the great est w’uter system on earth. And Niagara Falls must take sec ond place to South America’s Iguaza Falls, which are higher and wider. There are a million square miles of unexplored territory in South Am erica so it may have greater wonders than these.

What do you learn about people, watching them shop? A. When, I should have learned one thing. In Alabama where I was born, people go to the store to buy some thing. Here in New York they don’t do any such thing. They go—or at least the women do—because they lik ed to be shoved around and. to ride up and down on escalators and to find out what the Chrismas present from Aunt Susie actually cost. Q. That’s a rather harsh judgment, isn’t it? A lot of merchandise was purchased over the past few weeks in the great store for which you work, and in the other stores too. A. You bet your life there was. But if the customers who meant business had come in alone, we’d have gold more goods and saved half the time. Oh, yes, mister, I learned another thing: most men have no trouble mak ing up their minds about what they want, but in the china department, where I work, I have actually seen a lady bite at a plate to see if it was genuine. But the man who hasn’t de cided what to get before he came in is worse than a woman. I had one gentleman who changed his mind eight times and made four telephone calls for advice before he decided on a set of six tumblers costing $1.64. And he had just bought a wrist watch for $l5O in-the jewelry department in ten minutes. Q. But isn’t it true that the women who just go to look are good adver tising for the store and good potential customers? A. I don’t know, but I do know, suh, thnt. the ones who come just to look always pick the rush hour. If it’s be fore a holiday and the store is open until S a. m., these ladies who come just to shop, as they call it, always arriv n by the thousands at 8:45. Q. What is your greatest trial as a sales person? .a. My feet. My feet have grown since I got this job. I have bought two new pairs of shoes and each pair has been a size larger than the last. My only hope, suh, is that my feet get six feet square—then I won’t mind standing on them all day long, maybe. Q. May I ask why you came to New York in the first olace? A. I came to go on the stage. I wanted to be a dancer Now I don’t care. I think I’d like to be one of those lady taxi drivers, with a nice cushion to sit on all day long. Q. Please forgive me, but I notice that you use “suh” a lot in your **** * * * * ifp Golden Ngk f tVeddingjl! if BLENDED STRAIGHT 1 I WHISKIES—9O proof ' key. BOURBON . . . COPYRIGHT 1936. JOS. S.

You see, northerners expect me to use “suh” when they hear my south ern accent, so I do it to please them. I’ve got so I use it with everybody now. Habit, I even use ”we-all” once in a while, when the customer hailsi from New England or some other far off Yankee place. They like it. Q. What do you do on your day off? A. I got to confess when you ask me that. I read your column for years before I came to New Yrk and I know the kind of flip you like on the end of these little interviews. You want me to say that I go shopping on my day off, or read Schopenhauer or keep canaries. You can say that if you want. But it isn’t true. I take a hot foot-bath, with a big box of salts dis solved in the tub, and then I read the advice to the lovelorn column I haven’t got a steady fellow now, so I like that column in my newspaper— and then I go to sleep and get ten hours. But you’ll think that’s too dull to print. Sure you will. Yes, suh!

He rounded cattle day and night In snow, sun or rain. One day when he was out riding, He met a lovely girl. Her face was fair, her eyes were blue And her hair was all in curls. There came a time one September day When a great wedding took place. The groom was dressed in a lovely suit, And the bride was dressed in lace. And now the lonely cowboy, Is as happy a s can be. For he hay a beautiful wife, And children on his knee. —By Ruth and Edith Bobbitt. Folger To Resign As Superior Judge (Continued from Page One) up his judgeship an. 4 retain his post as national committeeman, reports heard here today indicate. One of these developments is re garded as the realization that he would continue to be under fire and hence under somewhat of a cloud, as long as he insisted upon retaining both his judgeship and national com mittee post. A second development is regarded as being the revelation that he was appointed a judge by Governor Eh ringhaus without the knowledge or approval of Governor-elect Hoey, thus making it extremely problematical as to whether he would be reappointed when his term expires June 30, 1937, six months hence. Judge Folger was appointed to fill out the unexpired term of Judge Clayton Moore, of Williamston, whose term would have expired June 30, 1937. Accordingly, Judge Folger has no assurance he, would continue to be a judge for more than six months longer, even if he should decide not to resign. Another factor is believed to be that Folger’s friends have persuaded him GOOD NEIGHBORS, BUT FOR HOW LONG? .■ / I OUST KNOW \\A / f that he can he of more service to the Democratic party toy remaining as national committeeman —and perhaps pointed out that toy remaining na tional committeeman his law prac tice should increase to where his in come would be much more than the salary of a judge. They may have even pointed to what his predecessor, C. Leßoy Shuping, is credited with having done while he was national committeeman and whose law prac tice is reported to have grown tre mendously. “Out” With Machine. Still another factor in Folger’s re ported decision to resign as judge is regarded as toeing the fact that he does not belong to the Hoey "ma* chine,” and that his appointment as judge by Governor Ehringhaus is be lieved to have been largely a con ciliatory gesture to the Sandy Gra ham faction in the Democratic party. Folger was campaign manager for Graham in his unsuccessful campaign for the Democratic nomination for governor in the primaries last sum mer. Indications are that Mr. Hoey and his faction are still just about as bitter towards the Graham faction as See If You Can Remember?

Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. they were during the campaign and as they still are towards the Dr. Ralph W. McDonald faction, which means that there is no love for Fol ger in the Hoey camp. Accordingly, if Folger should resign now as national committeeman, Mr. Hoey could fail to reappoint him as judge next July, and Friend Lon would be out on his ear and just another unsuccessful cam paign manager—than which there is nothing deader. But if Lon resigns as judge and stays on as national committeeman, he will still be in a position to make Mr. Hoey and his faction come to him on national matters, while both Senators J. W. Bailey and Robert R. Reynolds will have to consult him about Federal patronage in the state. So indications are that Folger has de cided to exchange a six months judge ship which meant only eventual poli tical oblivion for four years of poli tical importance.
